Description:
Spiral teeth cut in the face of the adjusting knurl engage a rack of teeth cut in the shank of the wrench to move the adjustable jaw. This adjusting knurl, the wrench's curved handle, and the angled jaw opening combine to give this tool a unique appearance. The example in the 2nd image has pipe gripping teeth on the "fixed" jaw.

A photo of the patent model (damaged in a Patent Office fire) appears on page 144 of "Tools: Rare and Ingenious" by Sandor Nagyszalanczy (Taunton Press, 2004).
